A night of performed fiction. You’ll hear inner-city tales of the past and the present, about local landmarks and remarkable locals. We have a Darlington flâneur, a cold case from Camperdown Park, Greek biscuits from Australia Street, a grief-stricken lesbian in Erko, hipster house-hunters in Sydenham and an Italian-speaking cat. Join MC Monique Schafter and Little Fictions’ actors Felix Johnson, Lauren Hamilton Neill and Ella Watson-Russell on stage at one of Chippendale’s best small bars. With music by Lax Charisma.

Ella Watson-Russell is an actor, theatre maker and drama tutor who has worked across Australia.
